"About time Numbuh 4!" Nigel sighed as Wally met them at the mansion. "And who are these? They're not operatives."

"No, but they're Kuki's friends and they want to help us." Wally replied with a stern tone.

"Numbuh 4! If they get in the way..." Nigel began to lecture.

"Standing here arguing isn't going to save Numbuh 3!" Wally interrupted him.

Nigel scowled and nodded. They all walked towards the mansion slowly. Trying to find an easy way in.

"What's with the change in clothes and hair colour?" Hoagie asked.

"I'd rather not talk about it right now!" Wally replied.

"Okay guys!" Nigel said, addressing Chase and Dylan. "You wanted to help. Create a diversion while we get in that window."

Chase and Dylan saluted then walked up to the front door, where they knocked and waited for an answer.

The door slowly opened to show the five figures stood in the doorway.

"YES?" They all answered angrily.

"Hi there! Look I realised the other day that I was actually real mean to you guys. Ganging up on you like that." Chase began to talk. Trying to stall them long enough for the others to enter through the window around the side. "I wanted to make it up to you. So me and Dylan want to call a truce."

"We're too busy at the moment." The five children sighed as they went to close the door. Chase checked behind them and saw that Hoagie was still climbing into the window. "No! Wait! Can't we at least...take you to the skate park and make the guys apologise too?"

"No!" They replied, now getting more and more agitated.

"Wait!" Dylan put his foot in the door. "What if we show you these moves? We could teach you them?"

The DCFDTL sighed.

"If we watch will you then GO AWAY?" The asked.

"Yeah, whatever!" Chase replied. They started to show off their tricks as the DCFDTL stood impatiently watching from their doorway.

From the corner of his eye, Chase watched to make sure that the KND operatives couldn't be spotted.

Once all four had climbed in, they ran down the long corridor, opening each room and glancing around it for any sight of Kuki.

"It's probably easier if we spit up!" Nigel stated when the corridor split into three. "I'll take the left, Numbuh's 2 and 5 take the middle, Numbuh 4, you take the right."

They did as commanded and Wally ran down the corridor as fast as he could. Checking every door in his path. He wanted to call her name, to hear her voice call him back and make the search easier. But he was worried that the smallest noise would cause the DCFDTL to become suspicious.

Then, he heard Chase's voice calling.

"No wait! We haven't shown you the 360 hard flip yet!"

"Too bad! We've lost interest!" Wally heard the DCFDTL reply, then slam the door.

He stayed motionless to listen for where they were, and what they were doing. Then he heard their voices once again.

"Numbuh 1!?! How did you get in here?" They asked in a shocked, yet laid back tone. "All on your own?"

He then heard footsteps, running footsteps, and they were coming in his direction.

He ran into the nearest room and closed the door quickly. Pressing his ear against it to listen outside the corridor. He heard the footsteps run past him, followed by a thundering of feet, which he guessed was the DCFDTL chasing Nigel.

He sighed and turned around, leaning his back and head against the door, his eyes closed tightly. Gasping for breath. He was so close to being caught.

"Who is it?" He heard a feeble voice in front of him.

He opened his eyes and they widened with relief and shock.

It was Kuki, she had been placed in a typical victim position.

She'd been placed onto a chair, tied to it and blindfolded.

Wally was enraged at the thought that the DCFDTL would do this to her, but he was also so glad that she was safe and no severe harm had been caused.

"I know you're in here!...I can hear you!" Kuki's voice seemed far from its normal, cheery tone.

It was much less songful. It contained fear and weakness. Wally wanted to cry just hearing her.

Ignoring the constant sound of footprints around the corridor outside, he slowly walked over to her and crouched down in front of her.

She jumped as he took the blindfold from her eyes, and slowly opened them to see him. She beamed as she realised that it was him and not the enemy. He put his index finger to his mouth and gazed at her sorrowful eyes. They were red and swollen from her crying. It pained Wally so much to see her like this.

He quickly began to untie the ropes around her and freed her from its confinement.

When the rope was then loose, she flung her arms around his neck and began to sob.

"I knew you'd come." She whispered.

He smiled and embraced her protectively.

He looked up as he heard the door creak. He then spun around to see the DCFDTL at the doorway.

"Aww, how sentimental!" The DCFDTL cooed sarcastically.

They all began to walk towards Wally and Kuki.

"Kuki's knight in shining armour!"

Kuki pressed herself closer to Wally and he tightened his grip around her as they stood before him.

Lenny reached out and grabbed Wally by the scruff of his T-shirt. Lifting him from the ground.

Wally instantly let go of Kuki and pushed her aside to prevent her being harmed.

"Now...What was his name?" They said, not-so-subtly acting as if they were thinking hard.

"Winston?...Waylon?...No...Wayne?...No...Oh...We remember...It's Wilbur!"

Wally squirmed in Lenny's grip, trying to get free. But Lenny was far too strong. And being held in midair, Wally was helpless.

"Strange though...you seem a lot like a dear friend of ours." The DCFDTL chimed.

"The only difference is the hair and clothes...wait a moment!..."

Wally continued to struggle in Lenny's grip as Lenny used the other hand to grab onto Wally's wig and pull it off.

"Oh! It is you Wallabee!" They all grinned evilly. "You almost had us fooled there."

Wally stared down at Kuki, humiliated. She was staring back up at him with a look of sorrow and hurt.

They threw him to the floor, ignoring Kuki's pleads for them to 'leave him alone'.

"What do you want?" Wally asked bravely as he sat up and looked every one of them in the eye.

"Dear Wallabee." They all sighed. "Why do you always think that we want something when we plan to destroy you meddling Kids Next Door Operatives?"

As they were speaking, Wally began to edge his way back to Kuki. She was sat hugging her knees, looking scared as anything and her eyes were beginning to well with tears again.

"All we want is a little fun." The Delightful Children said. "After you were so rude to us in the park the other day. We decided that you should be taught a lesson..."

The five children lashed out at Wally, smacking him in the face and causing him to fall backwards. Effectively preventing him from reaching Kuki.

"When children are bad, parents confiscate their things." The Delightfuls explained. "So we've decided that we will confiscate the dearest thing to you. Only, you'll never get her back!"

Kuki screamed as they leapt towards her, Lenny grabbed her arm firmly, while the short girl grabbed the chair that Kuki had been tied to as they all cackled loudly.

The chair began to levitate, and spin, quicker and quicker, higher and higher.

Wally ran up to them and grabbed onto the tall boy's leg.

He closed his eyes tightly as he felt sick from all the spinning. He saw different colour of the spectrum as they carried on spinning.
